A/N: This one is a little abstract, but it came to exactly 100 words on the first try. Those of you who've written drabbles know how hard that can be, so I decided to leave this one as is. Enjoy!

Peace.

He answered her with a slow, sideways smile and a soft kiss on the hairline.

"Because I like your cooking."
